This manual is intended to provide its users with detailed instructions for preparing and submitting an electronic declaration for cargo. Welcome to ASYCUDA World. Section 25 Subsection 1&2 of the Customs and Control Management Act Cap 20.04 of the Laws of St. Christopher and Nevis Revised Edition 31 st December 2002, requires the master of every vessel and the commander of every aircraft arriving at a customs port or airport from a place outside the state, or carrying goods brought in that vessel from a place outside the state and not yet cleared on importation, to electronically submit and deliver a report in such form and manner and containing such particulars as the Comptroller of Customs may direct. To this end the Comptroller has so directed that these instructions form part of the reporting requirements for vessels and aircrafts. It is our intention that this user’s manual will assist you greatly in fulfilling your obligation in this regard. The Cargo Manifest is the first point of contact for our automated system. Its main purpose is to provide necessary information about cargo for transport, commercial and regulatory reasons. It is traditionally used by Customs as a control tool to ensure that all manifested cargo is accounted for. It also gives the Customs Department some advance notice on imported cargo in order to plan examination priorities, risk assessment and facilitate faster cargo clearance. Access to ASYCUDA World is to be granted through an application process. A user or director of an entity applies to the Comptroller of Customs using a prescribed form called “ASYCUDA WORLD USER AUTHORIZATION FORM”. The form makes provisions for a principal user (The applicant) and persons who can act on behalf of the applicant. Each commercial type applicant account will be linked to a national tax payer Identification Number (VAT or TIN). Thus, each user included on an application will also be linked to the principal tax payer ID. St. Christopher and Nevis Comptroller of Customs, will issue each applicant and its designated user(s), a login name and initial password to enable access to ASYCUDA World. Once a user has logged in successfully, the system will force a change of password based on a predetermined level of complexity that enhances the strength of the password. Once the password is successfully changed, the user may subsequently change the password at his or her discretion. However, the system will force a change of password every six months or whenever a user request a password change due to a forgotten password. 2|Page Creating a T1 Goods entered at one port and moved to another port or transit shed for clearance for home use or export.
